The door of the operating room slowly closed in front of her eyes.
Her eyes were dazed and she staggered a little. Fortunately, a nurse supported her and she was able to stabilize herself.
She squatted outside the operating room door, hugged her knees with her hands, buried her face, and sobbed softly, her tears soaking her pants.
An hour ago.
She received a call from her father. The line was in chaos. Brutally, fists fell on her father, making him scream like a pig being slaughtered.
The sound of pain was heart-wrenching.
She gripped the phone tightly, anxiously and worriedly yelling into the phone, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"Where are you?"
The fists were like hail, full of lethality.
Her heart ached, as if she had telepathy with her father. She ran out of the house, crying, "Please stop hitting me, please, stop hitting my dad..."
No one paid any attention to her.
She cried for a while, and then the phone was suddenly hung up, and she stood there in a daze.
She suddenly remembered the casino her father often went to, so she started running, hailed a car, and rushed there in a hurry.
When she arrived, the group of people were still beating her father.
Dad was lying there dying, as if he had no life left.
She was covered in blood, and the smell of blood made her feel nauseous.
"Stop it right there. I called the police when I came here... The police... The police will be here soon." She wiped her tears and shouted at them trying to remain calm.
They finally stopped and looked at her fiercely, "You are Misan's daughter, right? As long as your father doesn't pay back the money he borrowed, we won't let him go until he pays us back."
"Let's go."
A group of lawless people left in a rage.
Mi Epiphyllum walked to her father's side, looked at him with scars all over his body, and moved her trembling fingers to feel his breath.
Although weak, he is still alive.
A flash of surprise flashed across her panicked eyes, and her body suddenly softened and fell to the ground. She ignored the pain and dialed 120, her emotions beginning to break down, "My dad was beaten..."
Thinking of the horrific scene just now, she is still frightened.
Oh, I haven’t called mom yet.
She quickly took out her cell phone and called her mother, and it took a long time before she answered.
"Hello, Mom, Dad was beaten and is now lying in the hospital." She said in a crying voice.
As a result, my mother's tone was very indifferent, "What does it have to do with me? Don't bother me with such boring things."
The other party hung up suddenly, and a beeping sound came from my ear.
Mi Epiphyllum looked numb, and her hand holding the phone slipped down, looking hopeless.
Why did that warm family become like this?
Who changed first, mom or dad?
There was confusion and a hint of sadness in her eyes.
Two hours later.
The door of the operating room opened and the doctor came out.
She stood up quickly. Her feet were numb from squatting for too long, and she subconsciously held onto the wall to steady herself.
"Doctor, my dad...how is he?" She asked cautiously, her eyes full of worry.
"It's nothing serious. The wounds all over my body have been stitched up. Also, the severed nerves in my leg have been stitched up. I may limp a little for the next few days, but I'll be back to normal after a few more days of walking. But I must not let my right foot get seriously injured again, otherwise I'm likely to become disabled."
Mi Tanhua's anxious mood suddenly calmed down, and she said gratefully, "Doctor, thank you so much."
As soon as she returned to the ward, the nurse urged her to pay the bill.
Fifty thousand yuan.
Her face suddenly became anxious and she quickly called her mother.
"What's the matter?" The other party's tone was impatient.
"Mom, Dad needs 50,000 yuan for hospitalization. Can you give me some?" Mi Tanhua said tremblingly.
"I've already paid him back once out of respect for our relationship. How dare you ask me for money now? I don't have any."
Her mother rejected her mercilessly.
"Mom..." She shouted anxiously after hearing the beeping sound.
But it was useless in the end.
Her face dropped.
"Um...Auntie, I don't have that much money. Can I...pay a thousand yuan first?"
This thousand yuan is her last savings, and she really has no extra money.
Seeing that she really didn't have any money, the other party didn't make it difficult for her. "Okay, but the remaining fee must be paid within two days."
"Okay, thank you, Auntie." Mi Tanhua quickly took out the money and said gratefully.
She ran out of the hospital, looking at the busy street with confused eyes.
Where on earth was she going to get the fifty thousand dollars?
The family money had long been squandered by my father in gambling, and some valuable movable property had also been sold. It could be said that the Mi family was now nothing more than an empty shell.
She frantically took out her cell phone and called her mother again.
It kept ringing but no one answered.
She didn't know how many calls she made, from being hopeful at the beginning to gradually becoming desperate.
She then called relatives and her father's friends, but none of them were willing to lend her money...
Her hands dropped, and her face was filled with dejection...
Suddenly, she stopped a car and went straight to the relative closest to her.
When the person who opened the door saw that it was her and wanted to close the door, Mi Tanhua reached in without hesitation, but her hand was trapped by the door. She gritted her teeth and groaned.
The person who opened the door saw that she was in this state and had no choice but to open the door.
"Epiphyllum, why are you doing this?"
The tone was full of helplessness.
Mi Tanhua said anxiously, "Uncle, our two families have the best relationship on weekdays. I really have asked everyone I know, but no one is willing to lend me money. I really have no other choice."
"Uncle, my dad is in the hospital now and needs 50,000 yuan for medical expenses. He is your brother after all. You can't just stand by and watch him die."
Mi Epiphyllum is about to cry.
The uncle hesitated, looking embarrassed. "Embroidered Flower, you know my situation. My son is about to buy a house, and my daughter is in her senior year of high school. Both of these require money."
"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely return it to you within a month, okay?" Mi Tanhua looked at him pleadingly.
"Epiphyllum, how can you afford it? Besides, the financial power of my family is in the hands of your aunt. She will definitely not agree." He sighed.
Mi Tanhua pulled his sleeve with her bruised hand that was pinched by the door, begging bitterly, "Uncle, please help me, I really have no other way."
The uncle couldn't bear to watch, so he turned his face away, looking conflicted.
"Epiphyllum, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I'm willing but unable to."
Even if he wanted to help, he didn't have that much money.
Mi Tanhua suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to the ground. The uncle hurriedly tried to pull her up, but she couldn't get up and kept muttering, "Please, uncle."
The uncle couldn't bear to watch, "Epiphyllum, get up first, and then we can talk."
Mi Tanhua ignored him and kowtowed, "Uncle, please."
